Kitchen Tools As Magickal Implements

Patricia Telesco suggests that we use our common kitchen utensils as symbols in performing kitchen magick. For example,
the serving spoon, when blessed and charged for kinship, becomes a good choice for meting out the portions of a magickal dish. The mixing spoon might be used
in place of a wand to stir the energy of a circle into proper balance. Straining spoons can be hung around the perimeter of a sacred space (including around
the home) to filter out negative influences, and finally, a decorated spoon can become the token of the chosen hearth goddess.

Here are some suggestions for the symbolism of other cooking utensils and kitchen objects. This list is simply a starting point to which you could
add hundreds of other items just by looking around your kitchen with an imaginative, magickal eye.

BLENDER: Mingling with others, stirring up energy, harmony,
coherence

COFFEE POT: Stamina,
potency, energy

COOKBOOK: Book of
Shadows, excellence, virtue

COOKIE TIN: Sweet
things in life, pleasure

CRISPER: Invigoration
and restoration

CROCKPOT: Fire element, slow change, harmonious mingling of different elements or people

If a choice is available, decide among different tools
according to your magickal goals. If you have the option of either a whisk or a fork for mixing, the decision can reflect the meaning of the creation itself.
Whisks are more for energy and prosperity while the fork is for penetrating hidden matters. Consider everything in your kitchen as having the potential to help
your magickal efforts progress smoothly along their intended path.
